Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can be severe and may cause lifelong deformity and / or disability.
These types of injuries are often classified as “catastrophic”
due to their damaging nature. While many assume burns are solely caused
by fires, this is not the case. Burns can also be caused by water, steam,
chemicals, defective products, and even medical malpractice.

Burn injuries can be caused by many types of accidents and mishaps, including:

If the accident that caused your injuries can be attributed in whole or
in part to the actions or negligence of another party, you could be entitled
to compensation for your injuries. This includes compensation for your
medical expenses, missed paychecks, physical suffering, and more.

The key is to speak with a knowledgeable and reliable burn injury lawyer
in Richmond, VA as soon as possible.

A knowledgeable attorney can help determine who is responsible for your
injuries, as well as who you can hold accountable for negligence. Whether
these burns came about as the result of a heater that started a fire or
as the result of scalding water, our lawyers can hold the guilty parties
responsible for their actions.

What Compensation Am I Entitled to for My Burn Injuries?

Determining compensation for a burn injury rests on a variety of factors.
Each victim’s individual case will vary according to their circumstances
and, subsequently, to the compensation awarded.

The most significant factors considered in awarding compensation are the
following:

Severity of the burn (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th degree burn)

Type of burn (electrical, chemical, or thermal)

Percentage of skin area involved in the burn

Location of the burn

Amount of medical care necessary to treat the burn

Emotional injuries (such as depression due to pain or scarring)

Long term physical therapy required to treat burn

All of these variables will determine how much compensation may be awarded.

Medical Malpractice Burn Injury

One of the least expected places to experience a burn injury is at the
hospital, or other health care location. Unfortunately, medical malpractice
can result in serious burn injuries to patients.

Thermal burns: As a result of a misplaced instrument or lap pad (i.e. cautery instrument)

Radiation burns: As a result of negligent cancer treatment

Electrical burns: As a result of a piece of equipment used during a medical procedure

Laser burns: As a result of cosmetic surgery

Chemical or medication burns: As a result of an IV or form of medication

In addition, the negligent treatment of a burn can result in charges of
medical malpractice. Negligent treatment could include a failed dermabrasion
procedure, skin graft error, infection, or bleeding.
